When it comes to successful fertility treatment, understanding your genetic background can be a game-changer. At Gold Medica IVF, Bathinda, we offer state-of-the-art genetic testing services as part of our comprehensive IVF program. Under the expert guidance of Dr Preeti Jindal, we help couples make informed reproductive decisions and improve IVF success rates.

Genetic testing plays a vital role in ensuring that the embryos used during IVF are healthy, reducing the chances of implantation failure, miscarriage, or birth defects.

What Is Genetic Testing in IVF?

Genetic testing in the context of IVF involves analyzing embryos, eggs, sperm, or parental DNA to detect potential genetic or chromosomal abnormalities. These abnormalities may not always be visible but can significantly impact fertility, embryo development, and pregnancy outcomes.

There are several types of genetic tests used in fertility treatments, including:

PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy)

PGT-M (for monogenic or single-gene disorders)

PGT-SR (for structural rearrangements like translocations)

Carrier Screening for inherited disorders

Karyotyping for both partners

These tests help select the best quality embryos for transfer and give couples a clearer picture of their fertility health.

Why Is Genetic Testing Important for IVF?

Many failed IVF attempts and recurrent miscarriages are linked to genetic causes. At Gold Medica IVF, Bathinda, genetic testing helps us:

Detect chromosomal abnormalities in embryos

Reduce the risk of miscarriage

Increase IVF success rates

Prevent transmission of inherited diseases

Avoid failed implantation or repeated IVF failure

Plan a safer and healthier pregnancy

Dr Preeti Jindal, a senior IVF specialist with decades of experience, recommends genetic screening especially for couples with a history of failed IVF cycles, recurrent pregnancy loss, or advanced maternal age.

Who Should Consider Genetic Testing?

Genetic testing isn’t necessary for every IVF patient, but it becomes crucial in the following cases:

Women over 35 years of age

Couples with two or more IVF failures

Recurrent miscarriages (2 or more)

Known family history of genetic disorders

Previous child with a congenital anomaly

Male infertility with abnormal sperm morphology

History of stillbirths or neonatal deaths

Unexplained infertility despite normal test results

Consanguineous marriage (marrying within close relations)

At Gold Medica IVF, Dr Preeti Jindal ensures every couple receives customized advice on whether genetic testing is necessary in their fertility journey.

Types of Genetic Tests Offered at Gold Medica IVF, Bathinda

Gold Medica IVF is equipped with the latest technologies and offers comprehensive genetic testing facilities under expert supervision. Here are the key types of genetic testing we offer:

PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy)

This test checks embryos for the correct number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy (extra or missing chromosomes) is a common cause of IVF failure and miscarriage. PGT-A helps us select chromosomally normal embryos for transfer.

PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders)

If one or both parents are carriers of genetic diseases like Thalassemia, Cystic Fibrosis, or Tay-Sachs disease, PGT-M ensures embryos do not inherit the condition.

PGT-SR (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structural Rearrangements)

For couples with chromosomal rearrangements like translocations or inversions, this test identifies embryos without genetic imbalances.

Karyotyping

This test analyzes the number and structure of chromosomes in both partners. It helps detect translocations, deletions, or duplications that may affect fertility.

Carrier Screening

We test prospective parents for recessive genetic disorders. If both partners are carriers, the risk of passing on a genetic condition is higher.

NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing)

Though not part of IVF, this test is offered in early pregnancy to screen for Down syndrome and other conditions using a blood sample from the mother.

Genetic Testing and IVF Success Rates

When used appropriately, genetic testing significantly increases the chances of a healthy pregnancy and live birth. By ensuring that only chromosomally normal embryos are transferred, we improve:

Embryo implantation rates

Reduced chances of miscarriage

Healthier pregnancy outcomes

Faster success within fewer cycles

Studies show that women undergoing PGT-A have a higher chance of conceiving in the first IVF cycle compared to those who do not.
